There were about 19 bands a day split between 5 venues. Thus far, Friday has 11, Saturday has 12, and Sunday has 12. There will be 7/8 bands added per day. I'm just thinking they will be smaller, unless they have some super special plan up their sleeves.

I have 12 each day with Bondax cancelling and BBD getting added to Saturday. There are some discrepancies between the daily order and the overall order, but if you look at the top 10, 2 acts are on Friday, 5 are on Saturday and 3 are on Sunday. Also, if you go down the whole day assigning each act a number based off their rank on the full lineup (NIN being #1 and on down with Bondax taking #30 but being thrown out of the equation and BBD being left out since they are not on the whole lineup yet), Friday averages to 21.7, Saturday to 15.6 and Sunday to 17.0. Long story short, Friday is due for a bigger name add since it is currently lagging behind the other days.

I think Friday is great for people who want to see that NMH and openers string of shows. If you are not one of those people like me, it lacks.

True. Rustie and Ital should be pretty awesome, though.

Yeah, I am not saying it's a terrible day by any stretch of the imagination. Just when you stack it against other days, I just don't see the level of conflicts that I do the other days.

garageland, like I said above, I think the attraction of NMH et al will really turn your perception of the day around. I am in the camp of people who are not that wow'ed by NMH, so I turned to the math to try to get it a little more objective.

Yeah. I took out the NMH/Half Japanese/Johnson show. Without those, I could see where it lacked. I'm just blinded, I guess.

What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited.

Oh, I am. Silver Apples sits right behind NMH for my "oh shiz" band. I just understand that SA isn't for everyone. If I can walk out seeing Simeon, Half Japanese, and NMH, that's worth the ticket price alone. Forget the rest of the days.

It's a good day for the fest, just not you personally. I think of all days Friday would be the one that most people might have to miss the earlier shows. There are more nostalgic acts on that day when compared to others, I think. While it sucks there is not a headliner you are excited about, the saying "it's not for everyone" could apply to any act on any lineup. I hope you get some additions for early Friday that you are excited for.

Geez, lesson for me is to not lose the card you put your payment plan under. I've been in constant contact with ACE and Ticketmaster regarding my order, and both sides tell me to contact the other. I just called Ticketmaster, and they told me to wait until the 15th...as long as there is notation regarding my calls I'm cool, but seriously, this much hassle?!?!

Besides the point, I'm totally stoked for Neutral Milk Hotel and Daniel Johnston (new to both, and would only know the names because of this fest). That being said, I will be totally happy if both of those don't conflict with Tricky...although I'm sure the conflict will happen. Also, I'd love to check out Silver Apples, as long as there is no conflict.

If anything changes perception, that does.

A bit of honesty: For weeks I thought Sorne was Brooklyn sonic terrorist Soren. What a difference spelling makes. I now don't wanna see everything on Saturday. Thank you Mountain Oasis.

Where did I say "it's not for everyone" or use that as a reasoning for Friday lacking? In fact, I went out of my way to use the line-up to see how Friday stacked up since I admitted not being a fan of NMH. Also, where did you even get that I was not excited about Tricky? I know he was in my top 10 when we posted it after the line-up came out. I got a copy of Angels With Dirty Faces right after it came out back in the day.

Edit: I also specifically mentioned that it wasn't a terrible day just not as good as the other two.

"It's not for everyone" was how GL described Silver Apples music. I never said you weren't excited for Tricky, I just hadn't seen him mentioned as an act people were looking forward to in the last few pages. You just mentioned you didn't like NMH and were not excited about the early acts on that day. Sheesh, now I feel like I'm arguing.

I think stuff got crossed up in translation through the internet. Sorry 'bout that.

No problemo. I'm not even going to this fest, but I seriously do hope they add some more things you really want to see Friday and not all to Saturday/Sunday. You can always go rage at Bassnectar.

Honest to god, if it comes to it (which I can't see how it will) and there is nothing else going on that I want to see during Bassnectar, I might go and act like an idiot for 15-20 minutes. I've done that with crappy dance acts in the past at Bonnaroo and has always ended up fun.

Wow, 70 pages already, plus some logistics pages. I'm pretty unfamiliar with this lineup to be honest. Has everyone already given their top five undercard bands? I'm trying to look into it, but I'd love to know where to start. Dave Maynar, who ya got? Who's everyone got? Have you all already done this? Forgive me if you have.

I kinda like this adding an artist every now and then thing, they must be on pace to sell out easily cause they've thrown the conventional addition scheme out the window.

Post by Bird on Jul 8, 2013 21:05:41 GMT -5

Top ten is fine, just didn't want to make everyone clock in like that if they didn't want to. I'm starting from scratch basically, which is awesome. Favorite set from last year was Exitmusic, which I was unaware of before digging in to the lineup.
